3 Agenda Archival Storage - Why You Should Care The Storage Solution Choices Ultra Density Optical (UDO)

4 The International Minefield of Digital Data Regulatory Compliance SEC 17a-4 (USA) Canadian Electronic Evidence Act Basel II Capital Accord Electronic Ledger Storage Law (Japan) HIPAA (USA) 11MEDIS-DC (Japan) ISO ISO/PRFTR15801 ISO/WD18509 AIPA (Italy) FDA 21 CRF Part 11 GDPdU & GoBS (Germany) Sarbanes-Oxley Act (USA) Public Record Office (UK) Financial Services Authority (UK) NF Z (France) BSI PD5000 (UK) 10,000 regulations worldwide Scope: Compliance with international, national, state or provincial and local regulations Depth: Industry-specific, public corporations Impact: Cost to comply or remediate, penalties for noncompliance

5 Litigation Litigation affects all organizations: Public and private; any size Particularly the following industries Securities, Insurance, Health Care, Financial Services, Consumer Products, Construction Materials, Food, Transportation, Pharmaceutical The focus of litigation is increasingly dependent on the discovery and authenticity of electronic evidence Average securities litigation settlements continue to rise - $25.1M in first seven months of 2003 (Pricewaterhouse Coopers) Average product liability settlement has jumped from $1.7M in 1996 to $6M in 2002 (Wall Street Journal)

6 Archived Data - Beyond Protection Timely access to more comprehensive knowledge assets can: Drive more informed and efficient decision making Re-purpose information assets Drive incremental revenue and business opportunities Accelerate projects Reduce development costs Examples MRI scans Mechanical designs Financial trade info Use Archived scans combined with current patient information provides for quicker, more accurate diagnoses and treatment Reusing design elements in a new product design dramatically speeds time-to-market as well as lowering costs Using archived financial data facilitates more insightful trend analysis

7 Requirements Driving Archival Storage Retention periods Authenticity requirements Access speed requirements Need for flexibility Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

8 Storage Technology Positioning High Disk-based Systems Non-permanent Higher total cost Access Speed DVD Non -permanent Low Cost Low media capacity Tape Non-permanent Low Cost High media capacity UDO Permanent Low cost Medium media capacity Magneto Optical Permanent Medium cost Low media capacity Low Low Expected Longevity High

9 UDO Technology Fundamentals Phase Change technology The most secure archival storage recording technology Permanent Media life > 50 years Enables true Write Once (WORM) and Rewritable (RW) media Low-cost - $2/GB vs. $10/GB for MO media New blue laser technology Provides smaller spot than red laser for greater areal density 30GB initial capacity > 3x media capacity increase over DVD and MO 1 st generation 30GB - roadmap to 60GB and then 120GB

10 UDO Technology Drives and Media Robust professional drives Precision Pentax mechanisms 750,000 load cycle rating Up to 8MB/sec data rate Fast 25 msec access time Future generations are backwardcompatible 5.25 inch ISO standard media format Compatible with existing libraries Robust cartridge requires zero media maintenance Removability enables lowest cost offline archiving Can be used in existing libraries No special environmental conditions Zero media maintenance Built to last

11 Archival Storage TCO $250,000 $200,000 2TB of Archival Storage over 3 Years List Price $150,000 $100,000 $50,000 $0 DVD Tape MO UDO Disk-based Solution Software Maintenance Hardware Maintenance Library/Hardware System Storage Management Software

12 The Momentum Continues to Build Computer system vendors / Other OEMs System Integrators Third party technology providers ISVs Customers

13 Computer System Vendors / Other OEMs Plasmon HP IBM Dell Market leader Already shipping full line of libraries Integrating UDO in its StorageWorks Optical libraries Providing native support for UDO in IBM OS/400 Currently promoting Positions UDO as alternative to Centera for archival storage

14 Medical Imaging System Integrators Medical SIs using DVD are ripe for professional grade archival alternative GE Healthcare Standardized on UDO as archival solution Libraries, drives (including desktop drives), media, archival appliances Broad range of modalities: MR, CTI, X-Ray, Workstations, Ultrasound & others Siemens Already standardized on UDO Currently using Archive Server Other SIs expected to follow

15 Technology Partners Verbatim Formally announced UDO cross-licensing and second source relationship Participating in joint marketing at AIIM and CeBIT Production in Q2/Q Long term partner for UDO II & III Pentax OMA supplier Ramping production Nichia Longest Blue Laser supplier Allows Plasmon to benefit from cost decreases UDO is currently largest customer

16 Extensive Industry Support OEMs and platform providers UDO Business Partners System Integrators Third party technology providers Global network of distributors and VARs

17 UDO Software Partners More than 25 ISVs support UDO technology Data life cycle management Direct access archival storage Automated data migration applications Vertical market solutions for , Banking, Document Management, Insurance, Legal, etc.

18 Summary New demands are being placed on archival storage solutions UDO meets the growing requirements of professional archival storage UDO has overwhelming industry support UDO is the only storage technology specifically designed for professional archival applications and is available today!
